Indignant Ohio Editors.

MANSFIELD, o., March 4.-The country
editors of Ohio are, many of them, highly
inceused against one w. 5. Cappeller, who
is said to be one of the principal proprietcrs
of th. American Press Association, a con-
Germ which supplies the country papers
with plate matter, for the move he has late
Iy inauguratcd against the country press in
the matter of rates paid for legal ad-
yertising. Cappeiier claims that the prices
paid are too high TO country papers, but
only fairly adequate for the metropolitan
aailies. On the other hand the country
editors insist that "A legal ''ad' is not like a
commercial notice, demanding the widest
possible circulation, but if published IN
Journal circulating generally In the county
,r district where those affected by the ''.td''
reside, that it is often more effective dis
seminatiou of the notice than might be OBJ
.ained by insertion in a journal OF much
greater circulation. The country press Will
Of course take this matter up, and the pros
poets are that MIR. Cappeller has tackled
r..l.cr more than he will be able 10 handle.

CRAVING THEIR NECKS.
Excited Representatives Attempt to Catch
the Speakers Eye.

the Speakers Eye.
WASHINGTON, March 4.-There is scene,
half funny, half pathetic, repeated in the
House during the last few days of the ses-
sion. AS soon as the "Amen" falls from
the chaplain's lips. there rise up the MEM
bers with little bills which they have been
hoping TO get through under suspension.
Almost consumed with eagcrness, they wait
for the Speaker TO get through laying be-
fore the House the documents and personal
requests that accumulate upon his desk.
Fifty bits of paper are fiourished in the air
and fifty members are eagerly and anxious
lY waiting for the moment when the Speak
er's eye is supposed to be abroad in the
House, while occasionally one member,
er'' too soon. Then they all shout MIR.
Speaker!': Mr.. SpeaKer!''
The Speakers calm, steady voice contin-
ucd: "Also The following" us he hands an
other document to the clerk, who proceeds
to read the title. When the title of the last
document is read, there are fly excited and
trembling members cranlng their necks to
catch the Speakers eye. There fifty
''muffs.'' Then Mr.. Holman holds up his
long, bony hand and cries Judgements
Fifty shame-faced, disguised, disappointed
and indignant members, with their bills
clutched in their hands, listen to the
Speakers calm voice putting the question::
1.-The gentleman from lndiIna moves to dis
pense with the morning hour The morn
ing hour is dispensed with. Then no one
but Mr.. Holman or Mr. Randall. armed
with an appropriation bill, can catch the
Speakers eye.
